GOOD OLD DAYS.

We are not u spring-chickcu,
but it makes us tired to hear old
fogies prate of the good old duys
when they were young, sard sturdy
patriotism and honesty ruled,
while dishonesty was tabooed and
severely punished. They 20 bacl;
to the days of Washington to
prove their position. Now Wash
ington was pretty good sort OF a
fellow. but like many who have
succeeded him, he was human and
had his weaknesses 1t has been
said Of the d" Father of his coun-
try" that IN clcctioneering he
would freight his pockets with gin
ger bread TO distribute amongst the
children in order to win the pa
rents votes. Tradition tells how
he used to pray, but history tells
us that lie could swear like the
army OF Flanders, as lie said, to
move asb by music, the leaves OF Hd
iaceut trees. Then tue scandal
created by his escapades with La
Fayette, to say nothing Of the story
of his tata! illness. Disguise it as
we may, Washington put on more
style than any President following
him. Hc owned moro horses, Shod
them with silver shoes, wore better
clothes, more RIFLES in hls shirt
fonts, thAn all Of his successors.
Then they talk about jackson,
who smoked Il corn-c1b pipe, forced
members OF his cabinet and their
wives t~ recognize a notoriousIv
corrupt woman. who had cock
fights in the White House, and
was wont to bet money on the re-
cult. Oh, yes, he was paragon
of simplicity. ana figure to olnu-
late.
Then in the days Of Van Burcn.
Why, while he was President, the
Custom house officer of New \ ork
absconded with more money than
all OF the detaHlters Of the coun-
try during and since the war.
Gong ress passed an act relieving
his bondslnen, and the thief came
back, demanded and was paid ar
rearagcs Of salary.
Yes, we toel uneasy when we
hear Of the honor prevailing in the
dim past, at the expense OF the
present-when we hear Jollereon
spoken OF as a saint, man who
was the father Of more colored
children than any man ot his time
and all of eur TO day statesmen
belitt cd in his elevation. No. we
have as much talent eXtant to-day |
as we ever had, and more virtue,
studded with fixed sincerity, than
in the days of Washington. or the !
.Bbled days Of Adam auG Eve.
AS well 20 to the grave Of Ad-
nm, Shakespeare, or other old fel-
owS who died long ere we were

ole showing the changes In--the conati-

call "the good old days" drinking wss o

indulgence produced boisterous merri.
ment followed by temporary digestive
disturbance, the tendency in the present
day is more and more toward secret tip,

testiye element. As n resul,
the stomach gives no warning til
chronic indulgence has produced
permanent chengee in the viscera and thu

Nothing is more singular or vel

latter ia more OF the nature OF ar

The Hanging of the Anarchists
nishes a Theme to the Chicago Press.
Chicago special: The News this
morning says, edltorislly: "The one
paramount lesson of the eyente which
eliminated on tine scatfold IN this city
yesterday Is this OF responsibility for
ones utterances. Freedom OF speech
is the ~inaiiensble bIrthright of every
American citizen. But coupled with
this right is also the responsibility for
it's abdse. If . man by his speech in
citss to theft, arson, or murder, OF bomb
throwing, he must take the conse-
queaces equally with the actual thief
lnoendiary, murderer, or dynamiter.
Anarchists need to lay this lesson to
heart, lest the rashness of their mouths
lead them in the footsteps of Spies and
his fellows.n
The Times this morning says: For
society this effect on the behavior OF
the living confrerers of the exterminsted
murderers is the supreme consideration.
! The condition OF the existence OF human
society is that the wicked shall perish
Either the murderer must be extermin-
sted or Eociety must cease to exist
Either the murderous propaganda called
social snarchiam that has invaded thil
republic from old world dens OF crime &,
preach the gospel OF assassination, mus
be exterminated. or organized sooiet,
will disappear. This is the ALTERNATIVE
necessity that OF nssSHs5 us. Fhere is q,
